"Don't thank me, thank Heiwa Nakajima."

It's been a good couple days.

Yesterday the weather was rather unpleasant. Besides being rather cold (relatively speaking) it was one of these days that seem to be common here, when it's raining when you get up in the morning and still raining when you go to bed. The weather in combination with the morning rush caused me to be late to Japanese for the first time... But, considering that half the class is always late and I was only the fourth student there as it was, I didn't sweat it. XD
As usual on Tuesdays, I was done with class at noon, but stayed on campus all day in order to go to Chabashira from six to eight. Not as usual, however, I got a lot done in the intervening six hours. Chabashira, of course, was good fun, and I signed up for shifts on Sunday and Monday at Komaba-sai. +D Since this is really the only chance I'll have to experience a school festival, I feel I've got to make the most of it and participate as best I can.　 がんばろう！

And, today was Museums, which was quite fascinating. I think that's certainly the class that captures my interest the most, of the non-Japanese AIKOM classes.
Afterward, Joon Woo and I went to little bentouyasan (a shop where you can buy a bentou, in this case just a small window to the street where you order and it gets made and handed to you in a few minutes). Coming back from that I was late for a non-Japanese class for the first time... But at least I was with someone, which made it not as embarrassing. XD+ That class was Literature and Films, which is a class I'm always slightly surprised that I am actually getting two credits for. It is interesting, it's just very easy to keep up with (though I'm sure the final paper will be hard - I'm really not all that good at interpreting literature or films in any sort of intelligent way). We finished watching Rashoumon, which was pretty awesome.
After class I stayed on campus to work on my essay for Uchino. Between yesterday and today, two afternoons spent in computer labs, I got three essays written, two of which I think were pretty good, and the third of which was at least not actually bad. It shouldn't, but it sometimes amazes me how much I can do when I remove distractions and just concentrate for a few hours.
